There's a nip in the air that means winter is on its way, and with the cold weather comes the need for fun indoor activities on those blustery days. Cheryl Henson has answered the call with just such a resource which will keep your kids creatively inspired during the winter (or even summer) months.
The Muppets Make Puppets contains plans for over 30 unique puppets which can be created from items you have around the house or materials that can be easily obtained. Varied to each designer's personal tastes, the puppets you and your kids design will be unique creations of inspiration, making this book a must read for anyone who wants to provide creative fun for children.
Loaded with photographs, Cheryl's book encourages kids to go further than just puppet design by providing detailed explanations of how to build a puppet stage and how put on a show for friends and family. It's so much fun that mom and dad might want to get in the act too.
If you'd like to check out The Muppets Make Puppets locally, you can find it at the Batavia, Bartlett, and Schaumburg public libraries.
Holiday present tip: For kids who enjoy taking the handmade route for Christmas presents, these puppets would be wonderful one-of-kind gifts.
